The Peabody Memphis Ducks

For decades, a group of fine-feathered fowls have sauntered through the Peabody Memphis’ lobby to splash about in the hotel’s marble fountain. Five North American mallards living in a “Royal Duck Palace” on the hotel’s rooftop have been trained since 1940 to make their way down the red-carpeted lobby and complete a now-famous “Duck March.” This quirky tradition, which began in 1940, has gone on to become a major tourism attraction drawing the likes of Michael Jordan, Don King, Nicholas Cage and Justin Timberlake – Oprah Winfrey has even served as an Honorary Duckmaster! Fun fact: Duck is not served anywhere on hotel premises, making the Peabody’s French eatery one of the only restaurants in the world not to offer it on their menu!
